has announced that it has been
named as International CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering
Awards Honoree for its FreeAgent GoFlex family of external hard
drives and the Momentus XT solid state hybrid laptop hard drive.
Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a
preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and
members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in
cutting edge consumer electronics products across 35 product
categories.
The GoFlex storage system includes
easy, plug-and-play portable and desktop drives, with an array of
interchangeable cables and desktop adapters that deliver ultimate
flexibility in how people collect, protect, share and enjoy their
digital memories. In addition to various cable adapters, GoFlex
drives work with accessories such as the GoFlex Net media sharing
device and the GoFlex TV HD media player, that provide the
flexibility to enjoy content on a TV, a network, using a mobile
device, or via the Internet. Additionally, each GoFlex drive includes
technology that enables storage and access of files from both Windows
and Mac computers. With capacities ranging from 320GB to 3TB, GoFlex
ultra-portable and desktop drives group high-capacity, adaptability
and ease-of-use with all the backup and protection people have come
to expect from Seagate.
The Momentus XT drive is the world's
fastest 2.5-inch laptop PC hard drive, combining SSD-like performance
with the massive capacity and much lower cost of HDDs. The Momentus
XT drive features Adaptive Memory technology-a groundbreaking new
technology from Seagate that learns and optimizes the drive's
performance to each user by moving frequently used information into
the flash memory for faster access. The Momentus XT solid state
hybrid drive boots up to 100 percent faster than traditional 5400RPM
drives, the mainstream spin speed for laptop PCs, and sets new
benchmarks for real-world system performance for laptops and gaming
systems. The drive is available in capacities of up to 500GB. The
prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been
recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since
1976. It is sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA),
the producer of the International CES.
